Recon Instruments

Overview

Recon Instruments produces one of the most exciting new products that the adventure sports market has seen for years, merging GPS technology with heads-up display inside the coolest looking snow goggles on the market, with more products in the pipeline.

These are real-world toys for the Playstation generation, loaded with the very latest technology, and taking adventure sports to a whole new level.

Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

Primary: Tech-savvy, style and equipment-oriented, advanced-use (11+ days per season) skiers, boarders / riders, and snowmobilers aged 14 – 35. These users are well-versed in all culture surrounding action/adventure sports lifestyle; from music to fashion. They make trends, and support brands that push the industry forward.

Secondary: Affluent, equipment-obsessed expert-users (20+ days per season) skiers, boarders / riders, and snowmobilers aged 25-55. These users are the first to know about tech, safety and gadgety equipment that they may or may not use to its fullest. They buy everything because they are the real deal, or want to look like the real deal.

Tertiary: Tech-obsessed, gadget and gamers. These users may not necessarily pursue action/adventure sports, but consider this augmented reality and virtual gaming. These are the bloggers that create critical mass for or against products.
